Collision Theory: A Short Course

Part 1 General theory of the elastic scattering: the scattering amplitude and the scattering cross section Lippman-Schwinger equations for the scattering wave function the properties of the scattering amplitude scattering phase shifts the dependence of the scattering phase shifts on the orbital angular momentum scattering T.R.S.-matrices. Part 2 Solution of the scattering problem: the exactly solvable scattering problems scattering at low energies the Born approximation the semi-classical (W.K.B.) approximation the Eiconal approximation. Part 3 Scattering of a particle on the bound system: general theory of the multiple scattering methods of the approximation solution of the multiple scattering problem scattering of a particle on the two-particle bound system.
